Trivia Tim Curry was very reluctant to talk about the film for years due to some not-very-good memories about his more rabid fans. He even told VH-1 that he grew "chubby and plain" in order to try escaping the role of Frank. These days, he's more open to talk about the film and even sees it as a "Rite of passage" for teenagers.

Tim Curry, who portrayed the original Frank-N-Furter in " The Rocky Horror Picture Show " will now take on the role of the criminologist narrator in Fox's two-hour musical adaptation of the iconic '70s film. Fox made the announcement at the Television Critics Association's winter press tour. In the original 1975 film, Charles Gray played the role. Fans of the film may recall his iconic scene where he introduced how to do the "Time Warp" dance during a convention of freaks at the home of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, the role originally played by Curry in the film. "I am very happy and excited to be a part of this new event," Curry said in a story published by The Hollywood Reporter .

The actor was in his home in the Hollywood Hills when he suffered the stroke, according to the Daily Mail . Curry's agent Marcia Hurwitz said in an interview with The Daily Mail at the time of Curry's health struggles, "Tim is doing great," ...

adding, "'He absolutely can speak and is recovering at this time and in great humor." The actor, also known for his roles in "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York," "Annie" and "Charlie's Angles," originated the role of Frank-N-Further in the original London stage play in 1973. He went with the show to New York and Los Angeles before playing the same character in the 1975 film. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Curry joins a cast that includes Victoria Justice and Disney star Ryan McCartan as Janet and Brad, Laverne Cox as Frank-N-Furter, Reeve Carney as Riff-Raff, and Staz Nair as Rocky Horror.

Furter in the original film, Tim Curry is returning to "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" for FOX's late 2016 edition of the modern classic -- but this time in a different role. Curry played Frank N. Furter in Richard O'Brien's London musical, then on Broadway, and then on screen for its 1975 cinematic adaptation. Now, upon his return, he'll be cast as the show's narrator, Vulture reports , a part that was fulfilled by Charles Gray ("Diamonds Are Forever," "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes") in Jim Sharman's cult film. Among those already cast are "Glee" actor and "American Idol" finalist Adam Lambert, Victoria Justice of TV series "Victorious," and Reeve Carney of "Penny Dreadful." Laverne Cox ("Orange Is the New Black") is to play Frank N. Furter and Kenny Ortega of "Michael Jackson's This Is It," "High School Musical," and the just-announced "Dirty Dancing" remake is to direct the two-hour TV special.

38 Freaky Facts About The Rocky Horror Picture Show Features By Lindsay Champion August 14, 2013 - 1:41PM Richard O'Brien, Tim Curry & Patricia Quinn in 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' Learn 38 frightening facts about the smash hit 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show'! Break out your fishnets and pink rubber gloves…and let’s do the Time Warp again! The Rocky Horror Picture Show premiered in London, England, on August 14, 1975. Based on the hit London musical The Rocky Horror Show, the film featured many of the production’s original stars, including Tim Curry and the show's writer, Richard O'Brien. A box office flop at first, the movie soon became a cult classic, paving the way for a raucous midnight showing (complete with audience participation, props and costumes) at the Waverly Theatre in New York City. Thirty-eight years later, more than 200 midnight showings of The Rocky Horror Picture Show are held worldwide, and the film has grossed more than $365 million. In honor of the movie’s birthday, check out 38 facts about Brad, Janet and our favorite aliens from transsexual Transylvania.

Oh, Rocky ! 1. The Rocky Horror Picture Show was filmed at The Oakley Court in Windsor, England, which has since been turned into a hotel. You can actually stay there ! 2. The Oakley Court may look like fancy digs now, but when it was used as the filming location, it had no heat or bathrooms. 3. Susan Sarandon (Janet) was sick with the flu (or according to some sources, pneumonia) during the filming—in the "floor show" scene, O’Brien said Sarandon was “shaking with fever.” 4. The film was shot October through December in England. “The castle where we shot was leaking,” Barry Bostwick (Brad) said in an interview . “I was always wet.” 5. According to Bostwick , there was one designated “warm room” in the castle with space heaters that the cast would crowd into between takes…until it caught on fire. 6. The Oakley Court was used in other horror movies, including The Brides of Dracula, And Now the Screaming Starts, The Old Dark House and Murder by Death. 7. O’Brien’s original script for the stage musical The Rocky Horror Show was only 40 minutes long.

The hit song “The Time Warp” was written to fill up space, according to co-composer Richard Hartley . 8. The film featured several performers who appeared in The Rocky Horror Show onstage, including Richard O’Brien (Riff-Raff), Nell Campbell (Columbia), Tim Curry (Frank-N-Furter), Patricia Quinn (Magenta), Meat Loaf (Eddie) and Jonathan Adams (Dr. Scott). 9. The Rocky Horror Picture Show was filmed over six weeks with a budget of $1.4 million. 10. The famous floating red lips that sing the film’s opening song "Science Fiction Double Feature" were inspired by Man Ray’s 1936 painting " The Lovers ." 11. Patricia Quinn sang “Science Fiction Double Feature” in the original London production of The Rocky Horror Show—and she threatened to drop out of the movie when she found out O’Brien would be singing it instead. 12. Although Quinn didn’t sing "Science Fiction Double Feature," her lips were used in the iconic opening number. 13.

The clock featured in “The Time Warp” had a real skeleton inside —it sold for 35,000 pounds (about $54,000) at auction. 14. Rocky, played by Peter Hinwood, was an underwear model with no acting experience. All of his speaking lines were cut, and his singing voice was dubbed by singer Trevor White. 15. Richard O’Brien borrowed the famous line “don’t dream it, be it” from the back of a magazine. 16. Set builders forgot to put a door in the laboratory set, so Dr. Scott had to crash through the wall to make his entrance. 17. Steve Martin auditioned to play Brad, but was passed over for Barry Bostwick, who had received a Tony nomination in 1972 for creating the role of Danny Zuko in Grease. 18. Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger asked to play Frank-N-Furter in the film. The creative team turned him down in favor of the musical’s original star, Tim Curry. 19. Tim Curry modeled Frank-N-Furter's voice after two women: Queen Elizabeth II and his mother. 20.

Writer, creator and star Richard O’Brien’s wife Kimi Wong makes a cameo in the wedding scene and as a Transylvanian. 21. In the film’s DVD commentary, O’Brien reveals he and Patricia Quinn had smoked “something exotic” before filming the song “ Dammit Janet .” 22. O’Brien initially wanted the first 20 minutes of the movie to be black-and-white, like The Wizard of Oz, then switch to color when Frank-N-Furter enters. The idea was scrapped by 20th Century Fox. 23. In the dinner scene, Barry Bostwick pounds his fist on the table, accidentally hitting Susan Sarandon’s hand—and her reaction is priceless. 24. ...But don’t feel sorry for Sarandon! Watch the "floor show" scene carefully: She steps on Bostwick’s foot with her heel, visibly hurting him. 25. Only Tim Curry and Richard O’Brien knew Eddie’s remains were under the table during the dinner scene—when the body is revealed , the looks of horror on the actors' faces were real. 26. Pierre La Roche, who did makeup for Mick Jagger and created David Bowie’s iconic Ziggy Stardust makeup, created Dr.

Frank-N-Furter’s look—but it took him so long to apply the makeup (four hours), Curry ended up doing it himself. 27.

Posted on Monday, July 25th, 2016 by Jack Giroux After the success of Grease Live!, Fox set their sights towards The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

At Comic-Con this past weekend, the network showed the first trailer for their take on the 41-year-old cult classic, which provides another look at Orange Is the New Black‘s Laverne Cox as Transylvania’s Dr. Frank-N-Furter and a glimpse at Tim Curry‘s cameo. Below, watch The Rocky Horror Picture Show trailer. Kenny Ortega (Hocus Pocus and Newsies) directed the remake, which stars Victoria Justice and Ryan McCartan as Janet and Brad, musician Adam Lambert as Eddie, Penny Dreadful‘s Reeve Carney as Riff Raff, Staz Nair as Rocky, Annaleigh Ashford as Columbia, and Christina Milian as Magenta. Curry, who played Dr. Frank-N-Furter in the original film, returns to the world of The Rocky Horror Picture Show to provide narration as The Criminologist. The trailer and the TV movie, surprisingly, acknowledge the midnight shows fans famously participate in for The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Here’s the trailer: Another adaptation of the British musical was bound to happen, and it’s actually been talked about for almost a decade.

Back in 2010, Fox 2000 was courting Ryan Murphy (American Horror Story) to direct a new version ; he would’ve been a rather obvious pick for the project. Two years before that, MTV was working on a TV movie like Fox’s production, but for whatever reason, it never happened. MTV’s scrapped remake of The Rocky Horror Picture Show would’ve used the original script but incorporated some new songs. Here’s the official synopsis: The Rocky Horror Picture Show follows sweethearts Janet (Justice) and Brad (McCartan), who stumble upon Dr. Frank-N-Furter’s (Cox) bizarre abode. Frank-N-Furter, a sexually ambiguous, flirtatious alien mad-scientist – with the help of his faithful servants, Riff Raff (Carney) and Magenta – is holding an annual, Transylvanian science convention to showcase the birth of “Rocky Horror” (Nair) – a fit, attractive man created solely to fulfill Frank’s desires.

Executive-produced by Lou Adler (Grammy Award winner and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee), Gail Berman (TV, film and Broadway producer) and Kenny Ortega (“High School Musical” franchise, “This Is It,” “Descendants,” “Hocus Pocus,” “Newsies”), The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a reimagining of the cult classic, which is celebrating 40 years of theatrical distribution – longer than any other film in history. One of the most popular films of all time, it still plays in movie theaters around the world. The Rocky Horror Picture Show will air on Thursday, October 20th at 8/7c.

Furter in the stage and screen versions of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. By one of those wondrous quirks of fate, the 1975 Rocky Horror film was resuscitated from its disappointing initial run… More Bio: For several years, the name of British actor Tim Curry was known only to the privileged few who'd seen his performance as transvestite mad scientist Dr. Frank N. Furter in the stage and screen versions of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

By one of those wondrous quirks of fate, the 1975 Rocky Horror film was resuscitated from its disappointing initial run and became the archetypal "midnight movie," and for nearly two decades its faithful fans have lined up in front of theaters in bizarre costumes and makeup, toting toilet paper and toast (suitable for throwing at the screen). Unlike these fans, Curry was not content to relive his past triumphs, but moved on to such prestige assignments as the role of Mozart in the Broadway production of Amadeus and the part of William Shakespeare in a TV movie biography. A polished farceur, Curry was seen at his best in comedy film roles, notably the repressed music teacher in Oscar (1991) and the supercilious concierge in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992).

But audiences must have their villains, and Curry has aimed to please in such insidious roles as Cardinal Richelieu in 1993's Three Musketeers (possibly the most lascivious Richelieu ever -- so much so that Milady De Winter pulls out a knife and threatens to "change his religion.") Curry's heart remained in the theater, and for an unfortunately short period in the early '90s he excelled in the Peter O'Toole role in a musical stage version of the 1982 film My Favorite Year. He has also contributed his vocal talents to such animated cartoon series as Peter Pan and the Pirates, winning an Emmy for his con brio portrayal of Captain Hook. Curry's reputation preceded him when he was hired to give voice to a nasty character on Hanna-Barbera's Paddington Bear cartoon series in 1988; appropriately, even the character's name was Mr. Curry. In 1990 Curry played one of pop culture's scariest clowns when he took the part of Pennywise in a small-screen adaptation of It, and a few years later he was the fiendish Cardinal Richelieu in The Three Musketeers.

He continued to work steadily in projects as diverse as Congo, Muppet Treasure Island, McHale's Navy, and Addams Family Reunion where he took over the part of Gomez Adams after the passing of Raul Julia. He became well-known to a whole new generation of fans doing voices for The Wild Thornberrys, Rugrats, and Jimmy Neutron at the beginning of the 2000s. He was eventually cast as Mr. Salamone, the forever put-upon hotel employee who is subjected to the whims of little Eloise in a series of made-for-TV movies based on the enduringly popular children's books. In 2010 he appeared in John Landis' comedy Burke & Hare. Most Popular
